Mindy Sopher, has a day named after her!

Mindy Sopher is one of those people you are grateful to know. She's bubbly, enthusiastic, compassionate and just plain fun. 

She's also known to deflect praise and credit. In fact, it was hard to get her to acknowledge her accolades and the work she’s done as a professor and college advisor over the last 40 years. But, the Raleigh community and NC State University haven’t taken her lead. The mayor named November 20 as Mindy Sopher Day, the NC State Panhellenic group created the top sorority award in her honor and namesake. She's even had hundreds of former students invite her to their weddings. She’s a humble servant leader and her work shines.

As a five-time cancer survivor who has the most positive attitude, Mindy is a guiding light for everyone. Here is her favorite quote from Kahlil Gibran’s book, The Prophet, “The deeper sorrow carves into your being, the more room there is for joy to fill it.”

Mindy’s message is, “Choose joy as a gift to learn from and live with no regrets.” Listen in on this great interview!
